CODE: P TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC HEARING: NO
SUBJECT: Authorize Non-Exclusive Purchase Agreements for the Heating and Cooling Assistance
Program with AirRite Air Conditioning Co., Inc., and Glenn's Air Conditioning and Heating
for the Parks and Community Services Department
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize non-exclusive purchase agreements for the Heating and Cooling Assistance Program
with AirRite Air Conditioning Co., Inc., and Glenn's Air Conditioning and Heating for the Parks and
Community Services Department(PACSD) based on best value, with payment due 30 days from
receipt of invoices;
2. Authorize this agreement to begin July 10, 2007, and expire July 9, 2008, with options to renew for
three additional one-year periods; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute Inter-local agreements allowing other public entities to
participate in this award in accordance with Local Government Code, 271.102, "Cooperative
Purchasing Program."
DISCUSSION:
PACSD will use these agreements to provide residential heating and cooling assistance for elderly,
disabled, and low-income citizens in the Tarrant County service area. PACSD assists these
households to achieve energy self-sufficiency by addressing inefficient heating and cooling
appliances in the residence. This assistance is part of the heating and cooling component of the State
of Texas Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program.
The Invitation to Bid consisted of detailed specifications describing required services and equipment
to be furnished. No guarantee was made that a specific amount of goods or services would be
purchased. Last year, PACSD spent approximately $668,444 on this grant funded program.
The volume of citizens this program serves necessitates utilization of both vendors equally; therefore,
a non-exclusive award is recommended. Each vendor will receive assignments in lots of ten. Once a
vendor completes its lot assignment another lot of ten will be issued.
M&C Review Page 2 of 2
, w
Staff certifies that both recommended vendors are licensed by the State of Texas and are qualified to
perform all services specified.
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS -Allowing other public entities to participate in this award may result in

Mayor and Council Communication
COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 7/10/2007
DATE: Tuesday, July 10, 2007 REFERENCE NO.: **P-10608
LOG NAME: 13P07-0106
SUBJECT:
Authorize Non-Exclusive Purchase Agreements for the Heating and Cooling Assistance Program with
AirRite Air Conditioning Co., Inc., and Glenn's Air Conditioning and Heating for the Parks and Community
Services Department
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize non-exclusive purchase agreements for the Heating and Cooling Assistance Program with
AirRite Air Conditioning Co., Inc., and Glenn's Air Conditioning and Heating for the Parks and Community
Services Department(PACSD) based on best value, with payment due 30 days from receipt of invoices;
2. Authorize this agreement to begin July 10, 2007, and expire July 9, 2008, with options to renew for
three additional one-year periods; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute Inter-local agreements allowing other public entities to
participate in this award in accordance with Local Government Code, 271.102, "Cooperative Purchasing
Program."
DISCUSSION:
PACSD will use these agreements to provide residential heating and cooling assistance for elderly,
disabled, and low-income citizens in the Tarrant County service area. PACSD assists these households to
achieve energy self-sufficiency by addressing inefficient heating and cooling appliances in the
residence. This assistance is part of the heating and cooling component of the State of Texas
Comprehensive Energy Assistance Program.
The Invitation to Bid consisted of detailed specifications describing required services and equipment to be
furnished. No guarantee was made that a specific amount of goods or services would be purchased. Last
year, PACSD spent approximately $668,444 on this grant funded program.
The volume of citizens this program serves necessitates utilization of both vendors equally; therefore, a
non-exclusive award is recommended. Each vendor will receive assignments in lots of ten. Once a vendor
completes its lot assignment another lot of ten will be issued.
Staff certifies that both recommended vendors are licensed by the State of Texas and are qualified to
perform all services specified.
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENTS - Allowing other public entities to participate in this award may result in the
addition of other entities' quantities at the next bidding opportunity. Increasing the volume of goods and
services bid increases the possibility of lower prices to the City through greater economies of scale.
